Welcome to Clara Love Elementary. More than 30 years of research shows that partnerships between parents, educators and children enhance our children's success, improve our school, and form tighter communities!
The Clara Love PTA hosts programs that benefit the children at our school. Some of those programs include:
-
Grandparents Day

Seasonal Parties

We can not do this alone. By becoming a member of Clara Love PTA, YOU become an important part of helping to ensure that these plans become reality. We need you in our school!
Dads, we need you too! Become a member of the MARS (Men Are Really Super) club. Children are highly impacted by seeing male role models in their schools. Please consider becoming a PTA member and/or volunteer TODAY!
Membership is $9.00 per member for the 2011-2012 school year. Please join with us to make a difference in the education, health, and welfare of our children.
If you need more incentive to join Clara Love PTA, here are seven more great reasons to join:
1. Be in the know. PTA helps you keep up with what's happening at your school. And you'll find out what you can do to make a difference for you child and to make your school an even better place.
2. Access great resources. When you are part of PTA, you have access to resources on topics ranging from childhood obesity to bullying to talking with your child about drugs and alcohol. PTA is a great resource not only for your school and community but also for you as you navigate the parenting process.
3. Make connections. Whether you attend PTA meetings and events or just link in via e-mails and newsletters, through PTA you'll connect with others who share your concern for children and their education. PTA is a way to meet others and build relationships.
4. Hone your skills. In PTA you'll have the opportunity to use what you know, try new things, and develop your skills.
5. Speak up. PTA is a forum for exchanging ideas. Your membership can be a means to effectively suggest changes at your child's school and to be involved in making them happen. Through PTA you can be a more effective advocate for your child and all children.
6. Be a part of the solution. PTA has been a driving force in establishing school lunch programs, after -school programs, communitywide safety initiatives, TV and Internet rating standards, and more. You can play a part in improving the world for you child.
7. Be a role model for your child. Through your involvement in PTA, not only will you help your child and all children receive a better education but you'll show your child how much you value education. You also will teach your child about giving back to the community.
